Dourif's next major performance came in the 1978 Irvin Kershner thriller #The Eyes of Laura Mars, followed by a superb starring turn as a damaged war veteran in John Huston's #Wise Blood. Upon completing a supporting role in the 1980 television film #Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones, Dourif next surfaced in Michael Cimino's legendary flop #Heaven's Gate, the first in a string of big-budget disasters to which the actor was attached, and which included Forman's #Ragtime and David Lynch's #Dune. A series of low-budget projects followed before Dourif reunited with Lynch for a small role in the director's 1986 masterpiece #Blue Velvet; however, no other offers of a similar caliber were immediately forthcoming, and instead he found himself providing the voice of the evil doll Chuckie in the #Child's Play series of slasher movies. In the years that followed, Dourif occasionally reappeared in more substantial projects (including the 1988 Alan Parker film #Mississippi Burning, the 1990 Ken Loach picture #Hidden Agenda, and Hanif Kureishi's 1991 directorial debut #London Kills Me), but he remained primarily confined to low-budget genre work; additionally, he often guest-starred on television, appearing in series including #The X-Files, #Millennium, and #Star Trek: Voyager. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
